Ladies
and Gentlemen
Lots of buzz around the new Council and the looming
prospect of snow. Most citizens are pleased
with the mix on Council, made up of some new young blood together with returning
veterans. Comments about the snow are a lot frostier.
Monday November the 10th gets the old Councils
back to work. Both County Council and Midland Council are “lame ducks” due to
the large number of new members. County Council will meet at 9:00 am in Midhurst.
Midland Council will meet in closed session at 6:00 pm to discuss a labour
matter. At 7:00 pm is the General Committee
meeting. A short agenda including:
-
Recommendation to allow Kaitlin to build 4
model homes at Bayport
-
Recommendation to adopt a new Source Water
Protection Plan
-
Discussion on how to organize farmers markets
for the 2015 season
-
Discussion of the Watercross event planned
for Little Lake in 2015
Tuesday is Remembrance Day. Town Hall will be closed. Please
join our men and women in uniform at the Cenotaph at 10:30 am for the Remembrance
Day ceremony. At 5:30 pm that evening the Midland Legion Branch 80 will be
hosting a special dinner in honour of our veterans.
The students of St. Theresa’s High Scholl are preparing a
very special tribute to our service men and women. They have made commemorative
markers, each identifying one the soldiers from our area who has fallen in the
war. The markers will be posted along the path from St. Ts to the Cenotaph. The
students will stand by the markers and help you better know those who have given
us our freedom. Please make a point of stopping and talking with these special students.
The four (new) mayors have had a number of discussions recently
about how we can best ensure quality healthcare for our area. We have all
agreed that effective public participation is essential, including direct participation
by the mayors. The mayors will be meeting with GBGH on Thursday to better understand
the existing funding model and to chart a course that will lead to a long-term sustainable
financial commitment to our hospital by the LHIN.
Also on Thursday at 6:30 pm at the Library, the Severn Sound
Environmental Association will be holding its annual partners reception.
On Friday November 14th, the Town will host a farewell
reception for Deborah White, who is retiring after many years of the service to
the Town, most recently in our Treasury department.
The reception starts at 1:00 pm at Town Hall. Please come out and wish Deb well.
That evening at 8:00 pm at MCC, Huronia Players launches
its 2014/15 season with It’s A Wonderful Life. Can’t
say enough about our wonderful theatre troupe.

We are the Villagers hosts a very imaginative
event at the Library from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
A village is being set up and children will get to meet the people who
make the village work – the postman, the baker – guess who plays the mayor? Should
be lots of fun for families.
